Stop Networking Like This: Why Most Professional Networking Fails (and What Actually Works)

Stop networking like this. In this episode of Beyond the Noise, we sit down with networking and philanthropy expert Kotryna Stankutė-Jaščemskienė to unpack why so many professionals struggle with networking and what actually creates meaningful relationships. Kotryna has spent years helping professionals build authentic networks and strengthening global communities through her work in leadership, philanthropy, and international collaboration. In this conversation we explore why networking events often feel uncomfortable, why introverts may actually have an advantage in building strong relationships, and how curiosity, generosity, and intentional follow-up create networks that truly matter. If you’ve ever felt that traditional networking advice feels forced, superficial, or unnatural, this episode will completely change how you think about it. In this episode we discuss: • Why most networking advice doesn’t work • The biggest mistake professionals make at networking events • Why introverts can be exceptional networkers • How curiosity creates deeper connections • The mindset shift that removes networking anxiety • Why building relationships takes time, not one meeting • The balance between giving and receiving in professional relationships About Kotryna Kotryna Stankutė-Jaščemskienė is a networking strategist and philanthropy leader focused on connecting people, ideas, and opportunities.
